... already did have a good weekend really.
... picked up the wife and a bottle of Arrogant Bastard Ale after work and drank it outside at Whole Foods, walked to Waterloo Records and picked up the new Black Angels CD (a local band popular at least in Seattle - they played in the store two days earlier), caught the tail end of a Matt Costa show and drank some free Saint Arnold's beer (the patron saint of beer brewers - really), went on over to South Austin Music and saw some cool banjos and guitars and lap steels and old Stevie Ray photos (picked up some strings and a glass slide), went on down to the Shady Grove, ate and drank and saw a free show (good too!) put on by James McMurtry (son of the Pulitzer Prize/Academy Award winning Texan Larry McMurtry) and went on home from there.
... all and all a pretty fun weekend (weekday?).
...even if it was typical for a Thursday in Austin.
The Black Angels rok. I saw them at the Vice Party stage over at the Victory Grill during SXSW. Kind of high-end grungier jam band, but I still liked them.
